 Bluestem’s menu is whole-animal focused --- think duck rillettes, blood and tongue sausage, truffled chicken liver mousse, headcheese and pâté. There are also marrow bones and tartare. Steaks are formidable, but not particularly memorable, and can be ordered with innovative sauces, such as a parsley oregano chimichurri. It’s the other choices that are showstoppers, such as a velvety coq au vin, its sauce rich like molasses. Watermelon salad --- juicy cubes of fruit brightened with mint, feta cheese and olives --- is a refreshing counter to all the meatiness. Desserts show little restraint. A simple granita comes decked out with flowers, meringue straws and an assortment of tiny palmiers and other freshly baked cookies. Though tucked away on Yerba Buena Lane, the restaurant is quite majestic, with soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, a 45-seat mezzanine and 30-seat deck. Wines are sourced primarily from Napa and Sonoma with 12 available on tap.
